What blog?
Time sure flies - I hadn't realised it was that long since I had posted. Thanks for the prompt Scott!
Running news
- I have run a couple of long 15k runs over the last few weeks. They have been fairly slow but comfortable.
- The entry form for the Macleay River Marathon arrived last week so I now have a goal race to prepare for. It is on the June long weekend and this year they are giving away a free T-shirt to every runner if anyone is thinking of coming up this way. My goal is to go under 2 hours!!
- J won his cross country at school running 3kms in 13.54. Not a bad time considering his nearest rival was about a minute and a half behind him. He is considering running the 10k at the Macleay (just for the free T-shirt!)
- J got hit by a falling tree. Luckily it just glanced the side of his head and one ear, but it knocked him off his feet.
- D survived his first term of high school and even enjoyed it. It has been a big transition from a school of about 80 to one of about 550.

Keep doing those 15k runs and you will go sub 2 for sure - nice work RU ;-)
Good to hear from you RU. A free T-shirt is tempting alright. I collect the things 90% of all races here in Japan give away T-shirts and the other 10% give away towels. I've only got a medal once here and really prefer the Ts as they are a always original and if you don't wear them you have the option of making them into a quilt that will keep you warm on those cold days of your running retirement.
Good upon your son for winning the cross country and the battle against that tree.
What's your goal time for that marathon going to be?
Glad to hear your son wasn't injured by the tree.. would have been very scary!
Those 15km runs are a great base for you to build on to that sub 2hour half.
